other B& seemed to be chasing the first
& - I wouldn't be surprised if there was
a chase crew - depending on the where
territory the birds were in [I feel that 1&
may do after the & - but they seem
the BB's areas and they start chasing).
In flight & occasionally from the ground,
The & gave her call note: which
allowed for her to be identified readily.
As mentioned previously - she was involved
in these chases for over 30 min (see time.
She ducked off & kept hider - while the
BB's chased each other - but they
soon found her again). The amount/
chasing in which she participated, the high
frequency / her call notes / her lack / "hiding" in the grass - would suggest that
she was an unmated bird - or at
least hood me clutch. Bill (8) well
chase - tend to reject BB's, by term
Honey Bee is an aggressive future
hidden in the grass. when B& fly,
are, calling less frequently, & usually
fly low - rarely is kept - album
arid chase.
